Hi :-) I am not sure, I think it is not "often-used"
to use a method of another MyServlet directly, but
perhaps you can try the following:
- in MyServlet0, put "this" in ServletContext with
setAttibute(...)
- in MyServlet1, get that Attibute, and use it, but
perhaps it is better Not to use service/doGet/doPost
of MyServlet0 in this way.
- if you have a method which will be used by more than
one MyServlet, perhaps it is better to put it in a
MyHelper class, and load this class with a classloader
which is "upper" than webapp classloader, now all the
MyServlet classes in every webapp(in the whole
webapps/container) can use it, without ClassCastException
or other.
